Great vid!

I'm getting tired of Canadians preaching state run medical to Americans.
We definately don't appreciate when they comment on our policys so why should the reverse be acceptable?

Thats because they have spent their entire healthcare debate vilifying our system. We are simply responding (and far nicer then we should) to constant republican attacks about how crappy our system is.

We should see some American members who are for Obama-care then.
Are there any?

[DerbyX]

Yes there are. I think a greater % of Americans want change then the % of Canadians who want to throw our system out.

[ridenrain]

Who? What American on this site has argued for Obama's healthcare plan?

[DerbyX]

Robair has. In fact I think he has spoken passionately about his in-laws burning through their retirement.

[DerbyX]

How many poor Americans that will benefit are even on this site do you think?

[ridenrain]

I just find it odd that Canadians are telling Americans what kind of health care they should have when we get all bent out of shape when they meddle in our affairs.

[DerbyX]

We aren't. Watch the videos. We are defending our system which is being attacked relentlessly by republicans afraid of it.

Big difference.

My wife (and I bet you want so bad to point out that she is not a forum member, so I will do it for you) is an American (dual citizenship) and she wants it. She also voted for Obama.

Seems RR is getting busted wide open on all the threads.

A good friend of mine, who is a Republican, wants it too. He cannot understand why socialized healthcare works everywhere in the world, but wouldn't in the US.

It hardly sounds like it qualifies, does it? Even if it does, that's just one.
